Abstract excerpt

We investigated the linkage between high blood pressure and the ACE gene in the F2 generation between SHRSP/Izm and WKY/Izm. The male F2 rats were categorized into 3 genotypes according to a microsatellite polymorphism in the ACE gene. Significantly high blood pressure was observed in the SHRSP homozygotes when it was compared to the blood pressure of the heterozygotes. Further, after 2 or 3 months salt-loading,...
